Daisi

Who we are

Daisi is a leading arts education charity working throughout Devon, Torbay, and beyond. Our mission is to create and promote inspiring creative and cultural experiences that enable more children and young people, especially those from vulnerable or disadvantaged backgrounds, to access and enjoy the arts. Our vision is a world where all young people can develop their full potential through engagement in the creative arts, fostering life skills, self-belief, mental health and wellbeing, community participation, and personal fulfilment. 

Every day we see the benefit that early exposure to the arts can create for children and young people. Fundamental to Daisi’s vision is that we find ways to collaborate and create with all children, from pre-schoolers to late teens, and including those in more vulnerable or disadvantaged communities; widening horizons and raising aspirations.
